DFI INFINITY CS Quick Start Manual
Use this Quick Start Manual to set up your Strain Meter and
begin operation. Information is provided on how to:
• Connect ac power • Set basic options for operation
Connect the sensor • Scale the meter.
Features with are for the “B” version which has threecolor programmable “Big” LED display - All segment
characters shown are for the “B” version.
IMPORTANT: For complete information on all setup options,
please refer to the Operator’s Manual.
NOTE: This Quick Start Manual includes specific configuration
parameters for bridge sensors with an output range of 0–100 mV
and 10 V excitation. Other sensor types may require different
parameters or additional ones. When this is the case, we refer you to
the Operator's Manual for detailed instructions.
Safety Consideration
This device is marked with the international Caution symbol.
The instrument is a panel mount device protected in
accordance with Class I of EN61010-1 (AC units) and Class III
(DC units). Remember that the unit has no power-on switch.
Building installation should include a switch or circuit-breaker
that must be compliant to IEC 947-1 and 947-3.
SAFETY:
• Do not exceed voltage rating on the label located on the
top of the instrument housing.
• Always disconnect power before changing signal and
power connections.
• Do not use this instrument on a work bench without its
case for safety reasons.
• Do not operate this instrument in flammable or explosive
atmospheres.
• Do not expose this instrument to rain or moisture.
EMC:
• Whenever EMC is an issue, always use shielded cables.
• Never run signal and power wires in the same conduit.
• Use signal wire connections with twisted-pair cables.
• Install Ferrite Bead(s) on signal wire close to the instrument if
EMC problems persist.
Mount the Unit
1. Cut a panel opening using the
dimensions shown to the right.
2. Position the unit in the opening,
making sure the front bezel is
flush with the panel.
3. Install retaining clips on both
sides of the meter and tighten against the panel.
Wiring
Warning: Do not connect AC power to your device until you
have completed all input and output connections. This
device must only be installed by a specially trained
electrician with corresponding qualifications. Failure to
follow all instructions and warnings may result in injury!
1. Remove the panel at the back of the unit.
2. Locate the TB1 connector.

To Scale the Meter
You can scale the meter in one of two ways:
1. With a known load — This method uses input (load)
information sent from another device such as a scale or a
simulator for voltage or current.
2. Without a known load — This involves calculating the load
based on transducer specifications and manually entering
it to the meter.
For both methods, you must first identify the minimum input
load IN!1 and the corresponding display reading you want
RD!1 . Then you identify the maximum input load IN!2 and
its corresponding display reading RD!2 .
The decimal point is for display purposes only — you set it
where you want it to display for your application. When
entering IN!1 and IN!2 values, ignore any decimal point on
the display. However, you must enter RD!1 and RD!2 values
with the decimal point in the desired position.
Scaling With Known Loads
To identify the minimum known load (IN!1 and RD!1
1. If it's not already shown, press MENU
until the unit displays:
2. Apply the minimum known load (0%).

/NT/GRS to change the value of the flashing digit.
Values can range from 0 to 9. For the first digit, you can
also enter a minus sign (–) or –1.

To begin operation:
Reinitialize the unit (press RESET
twice or press MENU until RST
flashes on the display). When a
numeric reading appears, the unit is
operational.
):
Scaling Without Known Loads
For 0–100 mV sensors, the values for the minimum and
maximum input loads are always as follows:
• Minimum load (IN!1)— 0
• Maximum load (IN!2)— 9999.
If your installation uses a different sensor type, you must
calculate the values for IN!1 and IN!2 before proceeding
with the steps below. Use the formula provided in the
Operator's Manual.
To define the minimum load

Determining Reading Offset
The run mode reading for meters scaled without known loads
RD!1
may reflect an offset. For example, say you set
RD!2
to 100, but when the minimum load is applied, a
negative value of –1.5 displays on the front panel.
To correct the reading offset:
1. With zero load applied, note the reading on the display.
2. Subtract that amount from the RD!1 and RD!2 values you
originally entered.
In the example, the offset would be –1.5. If RD!1 is to read
0 in Run Mode, it must be reentered as 1.5. RD!2 must
likewise be reentered as 101.5 if the meter is to read 100
when the maximum load is applied.
Repeat the steps for "Scaling Without Known Loads," but

when the values for IN!1 and IN!2 display, do not change
them. Instead, press MENU to move to the prompts for
RD!1 and RD!2 and make the necessary changes.
